The breakfast of full English was okay- there was a good variety of cooked breakfasts on the menu. The theme of the main pub food is Spanish/Italian/Tapas and the evening meal I had was good. The place has a large mock Tudor public bar/restaurant with some original beams. Large car park and outside beer garden. Accommodation decor is well out of date painted chip paper so the place is not exactly a swish modern palace but that's reflected in the pricing. For £63 I had a double room ensuite which was clean and tidy with coffee making facilities, TV etc.

Booking.com Guest Review Guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

“Ok but don't go bank holidau”

• Leisure trip

• Couple

• Stayed 1 night

• Submitted from a mobile device

Lovely staff but the barman, on our arrival, had limited authority to do much for us except give us keys etc. We mentioned the room wasn't very good for the price (apparently it had increased that weekend due to the Reading Festival) but he couldn't do much about it because he wasn't the landlord (absent) and had only been there a short time. He was apologetic but his hands were tied. Also, he asked for payment when we arrived (but having already paid via PayPal/booking.com). I was able to show my transaction, but he still had to call the boss to get approval (I believe he was only acting on instructions from his boss which I found a little dodgy).

Good breakfast, nice staff

“£180 for the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. ”

• Leisure trip

• Couple

• Stayed 2 nights

• Submitted from a mobile device

After paying an extortionate £180 for 2 nights, we expected a lot for our money. Unfortunately this notion never materialised, after arriving at the New Inn we realised our room had not been cleaned. There were cobwebs on the ceilings, stained curtains, dusty work tops, and dirty carpets. The basic fundamentals of the room were also lacking with a broken toilet and low water pressured shower. The curtain rail was hanging off the wall, the furniture was very old and stained and the room was just generally in a very bad condition. After complaining and asking for a refund so we could go somewhere else we were told that the manager was away on holiday and we could NOT have a refund because it was reading festival weekend!?, but what they could do was have the room cleaned and move us to another room the next day. We had no choice but to except this offer. After leaving for 2 hours we returned to our room which had improved a little, there was still a lot of dusty surfaces and the stained curtains were still there but the cobwebs were gone and the floor had been hoovered. The next day we were moved to another room which was an improvement but the lights did not work, the bathroom walls were mouldy and the dusty surfaces were still very present. This was by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in and I was in disbelief that we were not refunded. The price of the hotel was absolutely ludicrous and I would not recommend a single person to stay here. My girlfriend and I were attending a wedding and sadly this hotel put a dampener on the experience.

The breakfast was ok and staff were fairly helpful albeit limited.

Our room was small and filthy dirty. The bed was an iron frame with springs which creeped every time you turned and was extremely uncomfortable. Curtains were hanging from the windows and electric cables ran across the floor in front of the wardrobe. It was the smallest wardrobe you have ever seen. The carpets and skirting boards were filthy. The bed was clean but the duvet inside the duvet cover was about a foot too short of the end of the bed. Our shower worked quite well but friend had to use ours as there was no pressure on theirs. The bathroom was filthy dirty as was the dressing table and the side cabinet. It was a disaster of a room. When we went down for breakfast there was a leak from one of the showers that was running from the beams on to the dining room floor. All carpets in the property were thick with ground dirt. It was definitely not worth the £162 we paid for two nights sleep. The first night we did not sleep at all.

The breakfast was the only good thing about this hotel.

No check in until 4:00 (a long wait if coming from Heathrow after a long night).
Took an hour to get hot water for a shower.
No beer on tap. Taps there but no beer.
Garden and yard untidy and run down.
Enough said !!

Evening meal was nice.

“This is a place mainly used by business people- the others staying there were a rep and tradesmen”

• Business trip

• Solo traveler

• Stayed 1 night

The unfortunate thing is the location on a busy A road on which traffic continues late into the night and starts again, if it ever stops, very early. I had one of the front-facing rooms so had the full benefit of the traffic noise. Despite that I slept fairly well- the windows have secondary glazing which reduces the noise. Note other residents started leaving as early as 6.30am talking loudly. They surely missed breakfast which is served from 7.30am.

The bed was creaky, small double....state of repair in bathroom the worst I have ever experienced. No plug in the sink. No housekeeping done, dirty cups still in room and dirty toilet on arrival. No hot water for two days of stay so couldn’t wash. Staff were advised and couldn’t sort.unable to change brightness on tv so couldn’t watch as too dark.

Location difficult to find in the dark as it was not lit up like other hotels and pubs in the road. A lounge with comfy chairs near the bar would have been nice. Bedroom had a sloping ceiling and I am quite tall! Was one flat pillow on the bed so I requested an additional one which was also flat! Road noise and some internal noise at night.

Staff helpful and efficient and breakfast was good.

When booking a double room I at least expect 2 of everything i.e cups,glasses towels
TV not working
Rooms v.small
Limited menu in the pub/bar.
A note to all who run food outlets, if it's not available take it off the menu.

Staff were helpful with the TV and ended up swopping rooms , but I guess some other poor guest had to suffer it.
Full breakfast was decent and hot.
The food we did manage to order was good.
